Regulators and Conformers in Biology

The video tutorial explains the difference between conformers and regulators in organisms. Conformers do not maintain their internal environment according to external conditions, while regulators do. Examples of conformers include hummingbirds and insects, whereas humans and mammals are regulators. The video also discusses why there are more conformers than regulators, highlighting factors like energy consumption and metabolism.

What is the primary distinction between conformers and regulators?

• Regulators cannot maintain their internal environment.

• Conformers do not maintain a constant internal environment.

• Regulators change their internal environment based on external conditions.

• Conformers maintain a constant internal environment.

Which of the following is an example of a conformer?

• Dolphins

• Hummingbirds

• Elephants

• Humans

Why are hummingbirds considered conformers?

• They can maintain their internal temperature.

• They cannot maintain their internal temperature.

• They have a large surface area.

• They consume a lot of energy.

What unique ability do hummingbirds have?

• They can hibernate.

• They can change color.

• They can swim.

• They can fly backward.

Which of the following is a characteristic of regulators?

• They do not consume energy.

• They have a small surface area.

• They adjust their internal environment to match external conditions.

• They cannot maintain their internal environment.

Which group of animals is known for being regulators?

• Reptiles

• Insects

• Amphibians

• Mammals

Why are there more conformers than regulators in the animal world?

• Regulators require less energy to maintain their internal environment.

• Conformers require less energy to maintain their internal environment.

• Regulators have a larger surface area.

• Conformers have a larger surface area.

What is a reason for the rapid heat release in conformers?

• They are very active.

• They consume a lot of energy.

• They have a small surface area.

• They have a large surface area.

What happens to the metabolism of conformers when they lack sufficient energy?

• It accelerates.

• It suspends.

• It remains constant.

• It increases.

What is the main reason for the prevalence of conformers over regulators?

• Regulators have more energy consumption.

• Regulators have less energy.

• Conformers have more energy.

• Conformers have less energy consumption.
